Into Dust

Into Dust (The Montana Hamiltons #5) 

B.J. Daniels

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

This is the first book I have read by this author. It is the 5th in the Montana Hamilton series however can be read as a standalone.

Cassidy Hamilton wants to escape the watching public eye and get on with her life but with her dad running in the election as a presidential candidate she finds she is getting all the wrong attention. She is almost abducted in broad daylight in Houston, Texas but luckily for her a tall, dark handsome cowboy comes to her rescue. Cassidy doesn't know what her kidnappers wanted with her but maybe the man that rescued her knows more than he is letting on to.

This book is full of twists and turns. It is told from multiple points of views leading to many secrets within both Cassidy's and her heroes families.

4 stars out of 5. Suspense romance filled with mystery, action and scandal.

The Possibility of Somewhere

The Possibility of Somewhere 

Julia Day

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ❣

This book was really interesting. It has a diverse and developed story line which address a range of topics.

Eden is used to being ignored. She keeps her head down and gets on with her work. It's her last year at high school and she's hoping to win a scholarship to college which will allow her to escape her home town. There is a new girl in town and for some reason she wants to be friends with the unpopular Eden. Ash the rich Asian boy from school is fighting for her scholarship place and she finds herself finally wanting more than education. This book is about a girl that doesn't have much luck gaining friendships and romance. She fights for what she wants and is true to herself. People might call her trailer trash behind her back but she has the moral fibre to succeed.

4.5 stars out of 5.

Jerry's Passion

Jerry's Passion: Insurgents Motorcycle Club (Insurgents MC Romance Book 6)

Chiah Wilder  

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Jerry's book was outside the MC. Kylie is bangers daughter the president of the MC and she is attending university away from home. Jerry finds that he can't stay away from the one woman he can't have. She's the sweet heart of the club and has lived a sheltered life when it comes to men. Her dad wants her to find a normal guy who can offer her a better life than the club.

Kylie has always had a thing for Jerry even though her dad has told her he is bad news but when she finds him on her doorstep none of her fellow admirers stand a chance.

This is a story of love creeping up on you when you haven't even realised it and of course there's a side story of a murder mystery (bad guy) which is quite common in Chiah Wilders books. 5 stars out of 5. It it what you would expect and to be honest that's why I like these books.

Wild Crush

Wild Crush (Wild Cards #2)

Simone Elkeles

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

For some reason this book is harder to track down in paper form compared to the first book in the series and is a little more expensive however that said this is a Simone Elkeles book and I had to read it.

Monika and Trey have been dating since freshman year. To the outside world they are the perfect duo. Vic is Trey's best friend and happy to break all the rules except when it comes to his true feelings for Monika. Trey has his own secrets and Monika is beginning to unfold his mystery but by the time she figures out the pieces it maybe too late. This is a complexed romance story which has a mixture of sweet and sour.

4 stars out of 5.

Whiskey and Gumdrops

 

Whiskey and Gumdrops (Blueberry Springs #1) 

Jean Oram

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ❣

Whiskey and gumdrops is a pretty good title for a book and I think that's what drew me to this story. Mandy is a small town waitress who dreams of more. When the person she thought she was going to marry ends up with someone else Mandy is thrown a curve ball. Frankie her best friend has always been there for her but she never let it go any further because she didn't want to mess up their friendship.

Frankie wants to help Mandy dream big and offers her the space to set up her own business. Even this gesture sits a little uncomfortable with Mandy. She doesn't want anything to upset the dynamics of their relationship but Frankie is persistent. He wants to help her anyway he can.

This book is about realising sometimes your perfect match is right in front of you.

For me this book was too much about Mandy's business adventure and the romance took a back seat. 2.5 stars out of 5.

My Fake Boyfriend

My Fake Boyfriend

Josie Eccles  

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

My fake boyfriend was a really sweet book about friendship with a little romance mixed in.

Jasmine and Ethan have been best friends forever. They are complete opposites but work together perfectly. Ethan is popular, athletic and a traditional good guy. Jazzy is sassy, unique and unpopular in comparison. They do everything together and it becomes easy to let people think they are dating. It means they can attend all the same party's and events without anyone batting an eye lid. One is expected to be where the other is.

There is a new transfer to their 6th form college, Kane. He's a football friend of Ethan's and just as gorgeous. Jazzy just can't help but be distracted by his charms. Unfortunately everyone already thinks she's taken, life is about to become very complicated.

The twist was predictable but worked well. I really enjoyed this book. 5 out of 5.

Shallow

Shallow (Going Under #2) 

Georgia Cates

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

This is the second book in the going under series and it is just as good as the first. I would recommend you read book one first as the characters are linked into this second instalment.

Payton is a sassy blonde with a sharp tongue. She is expected to date someone who is socially accepted but when the cheeky Nick from the wrong side of the tracks catches her attention she is more than happy to give him the ride of his life.

Nick doesn't do relationships. He likes fast cars and easy women. When he lays eyes on Payton he knows he has to have her but he may have just met his match. No one has ever turned him down and he isn't quite sure how it happened but he finds himself chasing the one that got away.

Bad boy meets rich sassy girl, they are Two worlds apart but find out they are closer than expected. 5 stars out of 5.

Going Under

Going Under (Going Under #1) 

Georgia Cates  

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I was trying to find something similar to a Simone Elkeles book and this was a suggestion from Goodreads. I have to say they hit the nail on the head I loved this book it was right up my street.

Claire is the popular perfect princess of East Franklin High school. She's rich, dating the quarter back of the football team, heading to being crowned valedictorian and everyone loves her. To the outside world her life couldn't be more perfect.

Jesse has just transferred to East Franklin in the hope of landing a spot on the football team. He needs a full scholarship if he has any hope of escaping his less than desirable life. He is confident he can do a better job than the present quarter back, Forbes. Unlucky for Forbes he has his eye on more than his position on the field.

Bad boy meets good girl romance. 5 stars out of 5.

Secretly Hers

Secretly Hers (Sterling Canyon #2) 

Jamie Beck

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I'm a fan of Jamie Beck, it's no secret. I'd happily read anything she has written and know it would be good. This is no different.

Kelsey Callihan is desperate to find love and sometimes it appears too obvious which Trip Lexington is more than happy to point out to her. He isn't ready to settle down but that doesn't mean he isn't up for a little fun with Kelsey while she finds the one. He offers to help her land a husband in exchange for a little time in her bed. He's confident he knows where she is going wrong when it comes to men and is more than happy to help if she makes it worth his while.

Kelsey knows Trips history with women all too well, he's a player and definitely not the settling down type. She's resistant to his charms she knows full well what he is after but after he offers his help to find a loving husband she decides to take him up on the exchange. A little fun can't hurt if both parties already know where they stand right?

This book has an event I wouldn't usually like in my books however it fits perfectly into this story.

Easily 5 stars out of 5.

Let The Waves Come In

Let The Waves Come In 

J.L. Leslie  

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I really enjoyed this book and glad the author recommended it to me. It's free if you have kindle unlimited.

Aubrey has been best friends with Drew since they were children. He is her family and they have always been close but it's always been platonic. His older brother on the other hand has always been her secret crush. She's about to move away to college and out into the big world. Drew throws her an 18th birthday party the day before she leaves as a final send off. Declan, Drews older brother comes back early and catches the party in full swing. He is not at all impressed but Aubrey sees her chance and catches it with him. It's more than she hoped for. The problem is the aftermath doesn't go as planned and 6 years later they have hardly spoken since. Now they find themselves in the same town and maybe its time for their past to be let go. Start fresh and see where it leads.

When I read the synopsis for this book I was a little worried about it having a depressing feel to it but I'm glad I was wrong. This was a cute story and worth the read. In fact I couldn't put it down.

Enough: A Dark, Erotic Motorcycle Club Romance

Enough: A Dark, Erotic Motorcycle Club Romance

Jade Chandler  

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥

Lila is looking for a new start away from her past. She's done with relationships and just wants to focus on herself for a while. She gets a job at a tattoo parlour were her boss is smoking hot. Lila doesn't want a relationship but neither does he. That doesn't mean they can't have a little fun.

Dare wants Lila from the second he lays eyes on her pretty red hair. He offers her a no strings attached relationship making it clear business is business and playtime is separate.

This is loosely an MC romance novel however I have read my fair share of them now and this one doesn't follow the usual rules. I would say it's more a boy meets girl romance with the drama of life in between. It's worth the read if you like your stories full of hot and steamy lust but think of the MC part as a back story. Dare the male lead in this story is more of an equal partner to Lila rather than a alpha male which is also a little different (Except in the bedroom ;) ).

3 stars out of 5.

Starting New

Starting New 

S.C. Wynne  

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ❣

This book was not at all what I was expecting from the synopsis. It's raw and gritty which isn't a bad thing.

Francis has a hard life. He lives on the streets and does his best to get by. He sees a flyer for a church group offering free food with a bible study. He needs the food and hopes to slip out of the church before the speaker starts, with a free muffin and coffee in his belly he is ready to go but the pastors son has other things on his mind. Randy doesn't see many young people in the study groups and is eager to make friends. He sees the good in people and wants to help francis but he is reluctant. Francis has been homeless most of his life and isn't good with handouts but Randy intends to brake down his walls.

This book is about new beginnings and finding your place in life.

It is loosely a gay romance. This is the struggle of one man to survive and to accept love can be found in the strangest places.
3.5 stars out of 5.

Chasing Butterflies

Chasing Butterflies 

Terri E. Laine  

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I love this book and I'm definitely hoping it is going to be a series. This book is split into too halves; the school years and the college ones.

Kelley has never had it easy but he has good spirt and fights for what he wants. His father is a nasty piece of work but his mother loves him. Kelley and his brother try to make the best of what they have. They move around a lot and don't really have a place that is a true home. Kelley has always been favourable with the ladies. He always keeps it honest he doesn't get attached.

To the outside world Lenora is the perfect all American girl. She has the rich, popular good looking boyfriend. The perfect family and the straight As. Under the surface she has a controlling family and a boyfriend of convenience.

Kelley and Lenora collide in a heated romance that will leave you with butterflies. 5 stars out of 5.

This is Me.

C.E. Wilson

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ❣

I really enjoyed this book. C. E Wilson is good at thinking outside the box and this is always reflected in her books. This book reminded me of the channel 4 TV show humans. The principal is similar however the story is completely its own.
Rogan is a robot. He is a companion to Chloe. He was a graduation present from her parents to allow her to move away from home to the city. Rogan helps Chloe with everyday task such as walking her to work and bringing coffee but the more time that passes the more he becomes special to her. This is a controversial romance about living life the way that makes you happy rather than worrying about what others may think.

4.5 stars out of 5. I would recommend to fans of sci fi romances and people who like the tv show Humans
